What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Period charm is plentiful in its grand ground-level spaces with original wood flooring and in attic-like suites with sloping ceilings beneath the building’s mansard roof, though the interiors are decidedly more modern than quaint.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The town theater and pedestrian shopping streets sit right outside, and the 12th-century Gothic cathedral is a short walk away.
The rooms
Attic suites tuck beneath the sloping mansard eaves. Lower rooms have bold patterned wallpaper and bathrooms with walk-in showers.
The spa
Two treatment rooms host Cinq Mondes rituals, flanked by a backlit steam bath and a dedicated herbal tearoom.
Restaurant
La Table d’Edgar
Tables sit beneath a pitched glass roof, with seasonal menus highlighting Saint-Brieuc Bay scallops and local seafood.
At the table
Plush sofas furnish the salon bar, where evening aperitifs and cocktails are poured across a dark stone counter.
How it began
A Saint-Malo shipowner built the mansion in 1840. The building housed a convent and a municipal police station before its hotel conversion.

Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene

Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
